Avant la Pique

Picasso, Pablo

228634 Picasso, Pablo Avant la Pique 1959 B. 941; Ba. 1224 IIBb 6 1/2'' x 8 3/4'' Linoleum cut in color on Arches wove paper. Signed in pencil lower right. From the artist's proof edition (aside from the numbered edition of 50 examples). Picasso's use of the medium of the linoleum block as a matrix for his printmaking, derived from his desire to find a technique that would allow him to immediately create and pull his own proofs. He eventually devised a method, as used in this work, where he would continue to carve and print from the same block as he added each successive color. In effect, reducing the matrix while creating the printed image. Picasso's linocuts have become amongst his most desirable and historically important graphic works.
